Capítulo 77: In this episode of Ocu-Pasión, we are joined by the incredibly talented Kat Reeder, a full-time artist whose work is deeply influenced by her rich cultural heritage and love for tropical imagery. Growing up in Miami, Kat was surrounded by global influences in art, music, and fashion, all of which sparked her creative journey. She later moved to Hawaii in 2009, a pivotal moment that re-energized her artistic vision and allowed her to connect with the local art scene.
Kat’s bold, colorful style is inspired by Barbie dolls, Disney movies, Pin-up art, and 70s Latina glam, elements that have become signature features in her work. She speaks about her journey from being a graphic designer to making the leap into full-time artistry, a transition marked by her big break designing the official poster for the Vans Women’s Triple Crown of Surfing in 2009. This opportunity opened the doors for her to pursue her passion full-time and contribute to Hawaii's artistic fabric.
